Bleached 10 oz Cotton Duck Fabric

This heavy-weight bleached cotton duck fabric, weighing over 200 g/m² with 100% cotton content, features a 3-thread twill weave rather than plain weave, classifying it under HTS 5209.29.00.60 as 'duck, except plain weave.' It is commonly used for durable applications like tents and sails due to its strength and breathability after bleaching.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide bleaching process documentation and weave structure samples to avoid misclassification as plain weave

• Watch for quota restrictions on cotton fabrics; ensure origin certificates for non-WTO countries
